    Hey, I´m Irish, thinking of moving to Barcelona in 2013, (just coming back after being in BCN since September), and I was hoping to find someone who could help me learn a little Catalan.

    In return, I could help you with English or show you around the city and stuff.

    I have absolutely no Catalan right now, so Im just hoping to learn the basics!

    (24 year old guy in case you were wondering, would prefer partner in their twenties aswell)

    Hi, do I get it right you are looking for someone to walk your dog? How frequent and for what times would you be looking? I really like dogs but I am not in the position to have one right now so walking one occasionally (would be outside office hours) would be nice. I'm not looking for much in return really. I would like to learn more about how to make a blog look good so if you could give me pointers there that would be great.
